How Shopify Affiliates Can Boost Earnings With POS Pro
The Shopify Point of Sale (POS) Pro subscription can help merchants enhance their retail capabilities and their overall business success.
Shopify Affiliates can earn additional commission when referring eligible merchants to Shopify's POS Pro subscription.
How It Works
Commissions are payable for referrals for the POS Pro plan if the following are true:
- The merchant is located in a region where the plan is available.
- The merchant has purchased the POS Pro Plan at full price, within 120 days of their initial referral.
- You referred the merchant for their initial store plan through your affiliate link.
1. Start By Referring Merchants To A Shopify Plan
To be eligible, affiliates must first refer merchants to one of Shopify’s core plans. When qualifying merchants sign up and pay for a full price plan, you will earn a standard affiliate commission. Learn more about earning your commission.
2. Eligible Referrals Must Then Activate POS Pro
Once you’ve referred a qualifying active merchant, you can earn additional commission when the same merchant activates a POS Pro subscription. The referred merchant must sign up and pay for a full-price POS Pro plan subscription within120 days of starting their Free Trial API action. For more information, see here.
This POS Pro commission stacks on top of the commission you earned for signing them up for a Shopify plan—truly expanding your earning potential!
Note: To qualify for POS Pro commission, ensure POS Pro is available in the merchant's region. Affiliates can only earn commission from Shopify POS Pro referrals in countries and regions where Shopify Payments is available for use in the Shopify POS app.
